Tired of looking at the same old Tav? Changing your appearance in Baldur’s Gate 3 is as easy as pie, and can be done at your camp at will. You can change your appearance, but not your race or origin, mind you, with a magic mirror in your camp. Prior to this being added, you couldn’t change your appearance, only respec your class in BG3, but now it’s incredibly easy. If you want a change, read on and we’ll show you how to make the Tav of your dreams, even if it’s Act 3.
How to change appearance in Baldur's Gate 3
You can now change your appearance whenever you like in Baldur's Gate 3 using the magic mirror you can find back at your camp. There are some limitations though and you can only use the new system to change your appearance, voice, pronouns and genitals. Your race or subrace, and body type can't be changed, while Origin characters, hirelings and full illithids also can't make any changes using the system. Any changes that happen as part of the story also can't be changed.
While Withers did seem to be look like he was going to be offering up the ability to change your appearance in some way that's obviously never happened. He is still useful though, as he's the only way to respec in Baldur's Gate 3 and change class, as well as one of the options of how to revive dead characters in Baldur's Gate 3. He can even bring in Hirelings to fill up the party - but no, he can't perform cosmetic surgery on you, unlike some people we could mention. Still, if you want to find Withers, head to the Baldur's Gate 3 Dank Crypt and follow our guide to find his secret room.
Where to find the magic mirror in Baldur's Gate 3
You can find the magic mirror in your camp by looking at the map, where it will show an icon of a gold-framed mirror with stars/sparkles inside. It will be in different places depending on where you camp, so this is the best way to find it.
To use it, all you need to do is interact with the mirror and you’ll be greeted by customization options.
